Chapter 84. Tears streamed down her face, and Fu Qingli immediately...

"child?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi became somewhat nervous, her whole body tensed up, and her back began to stiffen slightly.

It's not that she doesn't want children, but she doesn't dare to hope that, given her long-term depression, she can have a baby that belongs to her and Fu Qingli in the future.

She was afraid to hear what Dr. Han would say next; it would shatter the last vestiges of hope in her heart.

Fu Qingli, who had been paying close attention to her condition, immediately noticed her unusual behavior and gently patted her back to ease her tension.

"Dr. Han, we should prioritize her health. Whether she has a child or not, we should let nature take its course and not force it."

“Okay, since you’re not in a hurry, I suggest you take your time to recover and start trying to conceive once you’re fully healthy. That way, Lin Xi won’t have to go through so much hardship.”

As he spoke, Han Fangyuan put on his glasses and refocused his gaze on the computer screen. "I'll adjust your medication. Remember to have your check-ups on time, and pay attention to your diet and exercise. You should be able to start trying to conceive normally in six months."

Preparing for pregnancy, that is to say—

Lin Xi was a little excited: "Dr. Han, do you mean I can get pregnant, but my depression... won't be passed on to the child? I've been taking medication for so many years, will it affect my ability to get pregnant?"

Han Fangyuan smiled and looked at her: "You have post-traumatic depression, which doesn't have a family history and isn't hereditary. However, preparing for pregnancy and getting pregnant is a very difficult thing, and it's easy to experience mood swings. In your current situation, things have improved a lot compared to before, but whether you can withstand pregnancy still needs to be observed for a period of time to determine."

"As for the medication, the one I'm prescribing now has minimal impact on your health. We can gradually reduce the dosage as needed. Generally, after six months, the medication concentration will not affect your pregnancy or the fetus."

"But let me make it clear that you must pay close attention to your emotional control during these six months. You still cannot have any major emotional stimuli or changes. You need to take good care of your health, eat well, rest well, and also pay attention to physical exercise."

Lin Xi's face was visibly happy: "Okay, I will definitely do it."

A smile appeared on Fu Qingli's usually calm face.

Han Fangyuan then instructed Fu Qingli: "As a family member, you also need to keep a close eye on Lin Xi's condition. If there are any fluctuations, you should try your best to stabilize her emotions, but you must not let the previous situation occur again."

Fu Qingli nodded in agreement: "I've got it."

“I remember your L1 model has already gone into production, right? You can set up one at home so that even when you're not around, it will keep her emotionally stable.”

“I keep that giant panda at home; it has all the functions of L1.”

“Is it a panda? That would be even better.” Han Fangyuan thought for a moment. “I remember you said it could change its form, right? It might even take on a humanoid form later, which would make it easier to take care of Lin Xi.”

"Yes, it's all ready, and it should be completed soon."

"That's good." Han Fangyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, they seemed to know each other well for years, speaking in a language they could understand.

He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Han, how did you know he launched the L1?"

Han Fangyuan was taken aback, but immediately realized what he meant and explained, "Your husband looked familiar just now, and it wasn't until you left that I remembered he's the founder of Qingyuan. Didn't you know? The L1 companion robot launched by Qingyuan has already been put into trial use in several major hospitals in Beicheng. I've always been very interested in it."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xi thought about it and realized that it made a lot of sense.

When they first came in, they were indeed strangers. How could they have known each other for so many years?

"Since Dr. Han is interested, I'll give you two L1 units."

Although it was to cover up the lie, Han Fangyuan was indeed eyeing the L1. According to his fellow apprentices who had operated the L1 in Beicheng, it had excellent auxiliary effects in clinical treatment and played a significant role in daily treatment.

The L1 license is currently in the trial phase, and Jiangcheng Seventh Hospital is not qualified enough to apply for it.

However, even if it goes on sale, the cost of an L1 is over five million, and the selling price will certainly be high.

But now, Fu Qingli gave him two of them right away.

Han Fangyuan was so shocked that his tongue almost tied itself: "Two...two units? No, no, President Fu, this is too valuable."

Fu Qingli smiled gently: "It's only right. Thanks to Dr. Han's care over the years, Xiaoxi has recovered so well."

"I feel ashamed, but this is what I should do as a doctor."

Fu Qingli, however, was determined: "Then let Xiaoxi and I contribute our modest efforts to the medical cause. L1 was created to cure patients with mental illnesses."

After much persuasion, Han Fangyuan finally accepted the two L1 vehicles.

On the way to the airport, Lin Xi was still thinking about what had just happened.

"So pandas have the ability to heal patients too!" she couldn't help but exclaim. "No wonder it knows so much."

That's true when you think about it.

Before bed, he plays white noise to help people sleep; when they are nervous, he provides psychological support; when they are sad, he offers timely comfort; and when they are happy, he provides emotional support.

Fu Qingli was checking her emails when she casually replied, "Yeah, I'll take care of you. It's more advanced and more professional than L1."

Gun Gun was specially designed by him to take care of Lin Xi. It will make timely adjustments according to her condition, so it will naturally be able to take better care of her than L1.

Lin Xi sensed something different in those words, and the thought that flashed through her mind seemed absurd to herself: "Was Gun Gun also part of my scheme? Did you already know about my illness?"

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

That's why he only felt sorry for her when she took antidepressants, that's why Gun Gun knew so much about caring for people with depression, and that's why he knew so well how to soothe her emotions when she had an emotional breakdown.

Now that things had come to this point, she had already guessed it, so Fu Qingli no longer intended to hide it.

He put the tablet aside and answered her question seriously: "Well, that's why I decided to develop Rolling and L1."

"But I never revealed that I was sick on Weibo."

On that Weibo side account, Lin Xi recorded her joys and sorrows, but never revealed that she was seeing a doctor. She did not think that Fu Qingli could judge her condition based on the content she posted.

Fu Qingli sighed softly, reached out and pressed her shoulder, letting her lean into his arms: "Now that I've found you, how can I resist finding out how you're doing?"

"Then why don't you come find me?" Lin Xi stammered instinctively.

"...I went to look for you, back then...you were still at the Seventh Hospital..."

Fu Qingli didn't finish her sentence, but Lin Xi understood.

At the Seventh Hospital, it was explained that he was unable to regain his ability to live an independent life.

At that time, whenever she fell ill, she would refuse to let anyone get close to her. She lived in a daze every day, and could only maintain a normal life with the help of medication and treatment.

I looked so pathetic that I wouldn't want anyone to get close to me.

"Did I look terrible back then?" Lin Xi asked with difficulty, her throat tightening.

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Qingli leaned down to meet Lin Xi's gaze, trying to look her in the eye. "I have appeared in front of you before, but your reaction was very strong. You were very resistant to recalling our past, so the doctor did not allow me to appear in front of you, for fear of upsetting you."

To prevent her from overthinking, he chose to tell the truth: "Actually, I stayed with you in the next ward the whole time until you were discharged and went to Jiangcheng University to attend classes."

Lin Xi remembered: "Was it the time I went back to Jinan University of Technology to resume my studies and had a stress reaction?"

Fu Qingli nodded.

Lin Xi's eyes glistened with tears as she choked out, "That time when I went back, I couldn't stop thinking about you wherever I went. I couldn't sleep all night, my mind was filled with... the scenes of you and Su Yi'an together, and I felt that life was so meaningless..."

She sniffed. "So I went back to the Seventh Hospital for a checkup the next day."

She stayed in the hospital for a whole month that time.

Things weren't as easy as she made them out to be; Fu Qingli had seen the hospital records from that time.

Linxi experienced hysteria at that time and even had suicidal thoughts. When she regained consciousness, she found herself on the rooftop.

"Xiaoxi, thank you for taking good care of yourself back then."

Lin Xi burst into laughter through her tears: "Isn't it only right that I take care of myself? Why are you thanking me?"

Fu Qingli smiled but didn't say anything.

He dared not think about how he would be living now if Lin Xi hadn't woken up that day.

How could he possibly let those who had driven them to such a predicament go unpunished?

Lin Xi remembered and began to settle scores: "Then why did you and Dr. Han pretend not to know each other? You did so much, but you wouldn't say anything."

Fu Qingli pressed her back, drawing her closer to him, and kissed her lips repeatedly: "I've done so much, but it couldn't alleviate even the slightest bit of your pain over the past six years. In the end, it was all just self-pity. If I had known it was because of those things, I would have been there for you no matter what, and stayed with you all the time."

Tears rolled down his cheeks, but Fu Qingli immediately wiped them away with his lips, though his eyes clearly held a deeper, more profound pain.

Lin Xi gently touched his sharply defined face and comforted him, "It's alright, everything is over now."

Once the two had calmed down a bit, Lin Xi suggested, "After things are over in Haicheng, let's go back to Nanqing for a few days. I think I should be able to face the past now."

Fu Qingli took a tissue and wiped away the tears on her face: "Okay. If it doesn't work out, don't force yourself. You don't need to worry about me and A-Zou's feelings."

"Don't worry, I won't force myself. I'm just really interested in that project." When talking about work, Lin Xi suddenly became interested. "I just discovered that there are so many intangible cultural heritage projects in Nanqing, including Hanfu making. Every piece looks beautiful in the materials."

"Speaking of which, this is really strange."

Fu Qingli: "What's strange about it?"

"That's a public welfare project. I see the total investment is only one million, so the planning cost must be very low. Why would A-Zou take on this project?"

As a leading company in the industry nationwide, Songjia naturally commands a high price.

There are also many local companies in Nanqing, and the end of the year is usually the busiest time for event planning.

As a businessman, why would Zou Song agree to take on a project that would consume so much manpower and resources?

"Of course he wouldn't do a losing business; he received ten million from Gu Keli for this deal."

"So much? Wasn't the total project amount only one million?"

"Gu Keli paid for it himself, just to invite you."

Does the girl he likes know?

"As far as I know, the girl doesn't know him."

"Although feelings cannot be measured by money, Gu Keli must really like that girl, which is why he is making such silent sacrifices regardless of the outcome."

"Just like you."
